Inquiry from a bond buying house regarding whether the Federal board
bad approved the issue or not, and incidentally Indicating the bonds might

works extension and Improvements,
' Olty Auditor C. O. Silver submitted
the bonds to the Federal board for approval or rejection and under dato of
March 11 received a reply in which
• the bond issue is approved. Tha
answer from the Reserve board ls as
follows:
"Referring to the iseue of $190,000,
6 1-2 per cent water works improvement bonds of tbe city of Alliance,
dated April 1, IMS, payabl* 110,000,

"In any public offer of the said

ttet the statement: 'Passed as not ln-
compatable with the Interest of the
United States, bnt without approval of

Waahlngtoa, D. C-, March 12.—Finishing touches were being put to the
railroad bill by the senate today. Indications were that R would bo finally
ratified by the upper house and passed upon favorably by the house before tomorrow nigjit. R will bo in the
president'! hands within, two or three
days.
Tho only obstacle remaining ln the
way of tbe bill ls tho question of
states' rights in railroad taxation during the period of tho federal control.
Senator Frellnghuysen haa raised a
point of order against the eonference
report on the bill on the ground that
it violates the righty of the states to
tax railroads.
The point of order wtll be decided
by Senator Saulsbury, president protein of the senate. A vote of the senate may be required to decide whether
his ruling shall stand- If ho rulee the
point well taken and is sustained by
the senate, tha measure will ba aent
back to conference. Senators in
eharge of the bill predicted today,
however, that this would not happen.

Another call has come to the American Red Cross and, like those of tbe
past, it will meet with a cheerful and
generous response. This time it is for
a comparatively small gift, which
will in no wise interfere with tho
large donations which must be mada
from time to time until the war is
ended.
The committee for relief In Belgium has asked the Red Cross in
Amerloa to collect for it tlra thousand tons of used and surplus clothing, for.Immediate distribution.
The practical exhaustion of clothe,
clothing, shoes and leather In occupied Belgium and northern France,
and the shortage ot these necessl
ties In the world's market make this
call most Imperative.
The one week of March 1$ ban
been set aside for this work. Plans
for the collection of garments in Alliance are being perfected by the com-,
mlttee In charge of tbe work, of
which Mrs. G. L. King is chairman,
and will be given in tbo columns ot
the Review.
In the meanwhile let every household make an inventory and decide
what garments may be spared for
these brave and stricken people. Tha
list of articles asked for Includes
under and outer clothing for infants,
children and adults of both sexes.
The garments must be of strong and
durable material, but need not be in
perfect repair, as this work will be
done bw women ot the stricken countries, who are eager for work. Merchants will be asked to give from
their stocks garments not readily
salable, wbile closets, storerooms and
chests will yield garments which have
perhaps been treasured because of
memories surrounding them.
Let us not hoard for a possible ta-.
ture use tbat which can at once give
comfort and strength.
Washington. D. C , Mar. 13.—The
full seriousness of the wheat situation
is not realised In Washington. H. N.
Owen, editor of a farm journal of St.
Paul, Minn., told the bouse committee
on agriculture today.
"Frankly. I am scared to death," he
said.
"Something must be done and done
right quickly to Increase production.
You people down here do not realise
what you are up against.
"I think the members of this committee hare realized lt for a long
time," Chairman Lever interrupted.
"Well, at any rate the food administration hasn't yet seen the light"
Owen observed.
He advocated the immediate fixing
of spring wheat prices at $2.75. If the
basis announced by the President's
proclamation ls adhered to. he said.
farmers will raise rye. barley and corn
instead of wheat to get the higher
prices offered for the coarser grains.
The wheat crisis can be met only by
holding out the incentive of higher
prices to the farmers, so that they will
increase their production, Owen be
lieved.
Possibilities of cost-plus farming tip.
peared on the congressional horizon
loday.
All of the Indications tend to point
that an endeavor to secure some sort
of government subsidy for the farmer
will result from the food production
hearings which are being conducted
now by the senate committee on agrl.
culture.
Senator Gore of Oklahoma, chair,
man of the committee is careful to
question every witness representing
tbe food producers, what their atti.
tude would be towards cost-plus pro.
ductlon. Thus far the answers to tha
question have shown that the farmers
would welcome such a movement oa
the part of the government.
"Cantonments and shipyards hara
been built upon cost-plus contracts.
Senator Gore said today, "and since
food is so necessary to the success of
the war, tbere is no reason why tha
farpier shouldn't be given, the same op.
portunity."
Senator Gore has suggested thai;
the farmers should have at leant a
seven per cent guarantee.

Cleveland. O.. Mar. 13.—Following
the coal shortage ot last winter, people throughout the state and nation
have been asking what tbey should do
this spring and summer. To buy ooal
early, or not to buy until late in tbo
fall—that hss been the question. Soma
officials at Washington and in Ohio
have advised getting in coal Buppllea
as early as possible, whUe others said
domestic supplies should not be pat to
until the fuel situation returns to
normal and war industries are guaranteed a sufficient supply to keep
them running.
State Fuel Administrator Johnson
has now advised Ohio families to buy
next winter's coal supply during the
spring and summsr. Purchases wilt
not be limited to one ton, he said, but
added that hoarding would not be
tolerated.
Mr. Johnson stated that the coal
supply is much below normal, but
tbat the coming of warm weather
would, doubtless, help greatly to eat
down consumption and also would
help the more free movement of care,

Tho only obstacle remaining ln the
way of tbe bill ls tho question of
states' rights in railroad taxation during the period of tho federal control.
Senator Frellnghuysen haa raised a
point of order against the eonference

it violates the righty of the states to
tax railroads.
The point of order wtll be decided
by Senator Saulsbury, president protein of the senate. A vote of the senate may be required to decide whether
his ruling shall stand- If ho rulee the
point well taken and is sustained by
the senate, tha measure will ba aent

Another call has come to the American Red Cross and, like those of tbe
past, it will meet with a cheerful and
generous response. This time it is for
a comparatively small gift, which
will in no wise interfere with tho
large donations which must be mada
from time to time until the war is
ended.
The committee for relief In Belgium has asked the Red Cross in
Amerloa to collect for it tlra thousand tons of used and surplus clothing, for.Immediate distribution.
The practical exhaustion of clothe,
clothing, shoes and leather In occupied Belgium and northern France,
and the shortage ot these necessl
ties In the world's market make this
call most Imperative.
The one week of March 1$ ban
been set aside for this work. Plans
for the collection of garments in Alliance are being perfected by the com-,
mlttee In charge of tbe work, of
which Mrs. G. L. King is chairman,
and will be given in tbo columns ot
the Review.
In the meanwhile let every household make an inventory and decide
what garments may be spared for
these brave and stricken people. Tha
list of articles asked for Includes
under and outer clothing for infants,
children and adults of both sexes.
The garments must be of strong and
durable material, but need not be in
perfect repair, as this work will be
done bw women ot the stricken countries, who are eager for work. Merchants will be asked to give from
their stocks garments not readily
salable, wbile closets, storerooms and
chests will yield garments which have
perhaps been treasured because of
memories surrounding them.
Let us not hoard for a possible ta-.
ture use tbat which can at once give
comfort and strength.
Washington. D. C , Mar. 13.—The
full seriousness of the wheat situation
is not realised In Washington. H. N.
Owen, editor of a farm journal of St.
Paul, Minn., told the bouse committee
on agriculture today.
"Frankly. I am scared to death," he
said.
"Something must be done and done
right quickly to Increase production.
You people down here do not realise
what you are up against.
"I think the members of this committee hare realized lt for a long
time," Chairman Lever interrupted.
"Well, at any rate the food administration hasn't yet seen the light"
Owen observed.
He advocated the immediate fixing
of spring wheat prices at $2.75. If the
basis announced by the President's
proclamation ls adhered to. he said.
farmers will raise rye. barley and corn
instead of wheat to get the higher
prices offered for the coarser grains.
The wheat crisis can be met only by
holding out the incentive of higher
prices to the farmers, so that they will
increase their production, Owen be
lieved.
Possibilities of cost-plus farming tip.
peared on the congressional horizon
loday.
All of the Indications tend to point
that an endeavor to secure some sort
of government subsidy for the farmer
will result from the food production
hearings which are being conducted
now by the senate committee on agrl.
culture.
Senator Gore of Oklahoma, chair,
man of the committee is careful to
question every witness representing
tbe food producers, what their atti.
tude would be towards cost-plus pro.
ductlon. Thus far the answers to tha
question have shown that the farmers
would welcome such a movement oa
the part of the government.
"Cantonments and shipyards hara
been built upon cost-plus contracts.
Senator Gore said today, "and since
food is so necessary to the success of
the war, tbere is no reason why tha
farpier shouldn't be given, the same op.
portunity."
Senator Gore has suggested thai;
the farmers should have at leant a
seven per cent guarantee.

Spring and Summer But Not to
Hosrd
Cleveland. O.. Mar. 13.—Following
the coal shortage ot last winter, people throughout the state and nation
have been asking what tbey should do
this spring and summer. To buy ooal
early, or not to buy until late in tbo
fall—that hss been the question. Soma
officials at Washington and in Ohio
have advised getting in coal Buppllea
as early as possible, whUe others said
domestic supplies should not be pat to
until the fuel situation returns to
normal and war industries are guaranteed a sufficient supply to keep
them running.
State Fuel Administrator Johnson
has now advised Ohio families to buy
next winter's coal supply during the
spring and summsr. Purchases wilt
not be limited to one ton, he said, but
added that hoarding would not be
tolerated.
Mr. Johnson stated that the coal
supply is much below normal, but
tbat the coming of warm weather
would, doubtless, help greatly to eat
down consumption and also would
help the more free movement of care,

tbe most potent factors in the fuel
